<p>Honestly I dont know why I even applied… Im no where near qualified, but uchicago was always a dream… Even if there was only that 1% chance. I guess rejection wont hurt me too much, I’m expecting it. My emotions will be bottled up, and it will kill me on the inside. Defered just prolongs the inevitable, and acceptance is out of the question. I think I would faint.
The past 9 months have been the worst time of my life, I am so screwed up and I am so sad all the time… I dont do anything, isolate myself from friends and family, and I am even slacking in school (I got a B). Potentially this is the sole thing that will pick me up, but then again there is no potential. But anyway I’m done with apps, I’m going to a decent state school OOS.</p>
<p>Im already expecting to be deferred… If I get accepted I’ll be extremely happy and it will give me great confidence for the RD round. If I get rejected, I’ll be pretty upset and all of my confidence will go down the drain. Finally, if I am deferred, I will be neutral lol.</p>
<p>@raza68 I feel the exact same way…shaky confidence.</p>
<p>@Kylash Yeah I’d be 0-2 as well 
I wore my shirt UChicago sent me in the mail awhile ago last night</p>
<p>You got a shirt?!</p>
<p>How did you guys react in actuality?</p>
<p>deferred. i ripped my chicago poster off my wall and through it in the trash. lol. then started working on other apps.</p>
<p>I’d just finished the last episode of Doctor Who, and I was talking to my sister about it … I went to check my email and saw “Your Application Is Ready.” I kicked my sister out of the room (she hovered in the hallway), and when I saw the congratulation bubbles I shrieked, yelled “I got accepted!” and practically tackled her … then she force-fed me mint ice cream.</p>
<p>I let out a woo-hoo then started notifying the family and friends. Then we had some wine and then cake :)</p>
